Excess and Obsolete Spare Parts Disposal

Subject area: Excess and Obsolete Spare Parts Disposal

Excess and Obsolete Parts Disposal

One of the peculiarities of spare parts inventory management is that the supply chain is established to operate one-way: to put items into inventory.

 
Very few companies have put thought into the processes required for removing items from the inventory and disposing of them.

Is it any wonder then that companies find themselves with significant stockpiles of spare parts that are held in excess and/or obsolete.
 


Our Disposal Solution

 
At SparePartsKnowHow.com our solution for the disposal of excess and obsolete spare parts will help you remove these items and maximize the return from sale.

This solution can be used no matter how the excess and obsolescence occurred:

  • Changes in your equipment needs
  • Vendor discontinued items
  • Plant merger or closures
  • Excess purchases

We can also deal with excess equipment and asset sales.

Plus we manage sales for almost all countries world-wide.

 


Doing Nothing Does Nothing

 
The problem with stock piles of spare parts that are either in excess or obsolete is that they are easy to ignore.

However, do that and the problem does not go away.

In short, doing nothing, does nothing.

The sale process is painless and only really requires that you collate the item list and despatch the item when sold.
